4 ½ cups (1.125 mL) gluten-free low-salt poultry or vegetable stock, divided
¼ cup (60 mL) unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 tsp (10 mL) dried parsley
1 ½ tsp (7.5 mL) poultry seasoning
1/3 cup (75 mL) dried cranberries
1/3 cup (75 mLl) toasted pecans, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Since wild rice is naturally gluten-free, this Wild Rice Stuffing is a great alternative for those that have celiac disease or are gluten-intolerant.
Directions
In a large saucepan, cook the wild/brown rice blend according to package directions, using 4 cups (1 L) of the stock in place of the water. Cooking time should be about 40-45 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, place the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and celery and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the dried parsley and poultry seasoning.
Once the rice has finished cooking, add the onion/celery mixture, the remaining ½ cup (125 mL) of stock, cranberries, and pecans to the rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the stuffing mixture into a greased casserole dish. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate to reheat at a later time, or you can place it in a preheated 350oF (175oC) oven to bake for 30-40 minutes. If you do refrigerate it, the bake time will increase to 50-55 minutes.
